Farnsworth Middle School
As a grandparent of a student who transferred to this school last year I would say the staff needs to wake up to the horrible way new students are treated by current students. My grandchild has been tormented on a daily basis by his fellow students. Maybe a code of conduct review is necessary in this school.
